    Bright and airy pub with a pleasant garden area. Theatre above the pub holds some interesting performances. Great real ales.

    Great spot. Only went once and my best friend had her purse stolen from there so beware, not sure if this is an ongoing issue for this place.

    If you try anything at all, make sure you try the Sticky Toffee Pudding! Calories to keep you running for days, yet so delicious that you have to restrain yourself from ordering it every day.

    Great food and drink! Excellent surroundings, wonderful style of decor and if you want to catch a show they have a theatre upstairs!

    'Gastropub' at times = pretentious but this place is great. Nice ambience & staff, well managed & great food. Roast was terrific as were veges. So much so that I asked for more & was given extra. 9/10

    Bit chaotic today - tonnes of staff running around looking confused - told 40 min wait for food - place is half empty! Staff a bit abrupt as well - wouldn't recommend it to be honest.

    I remember why I stopped coming here. £12.50 for a cheese burger. Refused to serve less then medium. No mustard. In this era of burgers, gotta do better than that.

    Not sure what wine to drink? Ask the barman to recommend a poison. Very knowledgeable indeed.

    This is the pub not the theatre. Not listed in the normal search results for some reason.
